Google the industry you are in and the majority of websites will look the same. It’s not that they are badly done; in fact, they all look vaguely generic. You click on a site and once you scroll through the platitudes, which you blithely ignore, you lose interest and click back to the search results. Why? Because they have not become the obvious choice to do business with.

Inclusivity is a term that we’re hearing more and more. This is a good thing, because when it comes to the diversity conversation, diversity highlights what makes us different, but inclusion brings us together.

If you own a business, you probably have heard the saying that “word of mouth” is the best form of advertising. Word of mouth spreads much differently these days than it used to, thanks to the explosion in popularity of social media. Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram allow people to share their experience as customers with zero filters. The same can be said through online reviews. For dental practices, in particular, Google reviews play a significant role in shaping the way ...

Social media is here to stay. Usage amongst popular networks such as Facebook and Twitter continues to grow. A decade ago just 7% of the US population had an active profile on a social networking site.

The current prediction is that by 2020, 50 percent of all searches will be voice-based. By focusing on mobile—and targeting long-tail keywords and featured snippets—optimizing a website for voice search naturally helps improve overall SEO as well. The key takeaway here is that “voice search SEO” shouldn’t be viewed as a separate initiative, it’s merely an expansion or reprioritization of current SEO best practices.
